It's more like he's the figurehead that all the tankies will defend no matter what. Kinda like MAGA with Trump expect Hasan isn't a politician. MAGA and moderate Republicans (if there are any left at this point) wants to make it look like the entire left is Hasan Piker, and thus moderates disavowed him before they are harassed with all the indefensible things he has said and done over the years like some DSA candidates are dealing with now for biting this bullet

The moderates are the extremists

If you are hand wringing about Hasan in this moment, you are a fascist.

Don't care about this guy. He isn't in my district. He isn't even running for office. His opinion does not matter to me.

Nick Fuentes is not in my district and didn't even run for office, therefore it was unreasonable of me to care when Trump met with him.

He is campaigning with progressives to fight the republican facists. I care about this person even though I am not even American
